Injecting liquid chlorine before SWCG

[jmastron]

I recently installed an SWCG (Camilar CMARSHA40-3Y after seeing a good deal at $625), and it's working so well that I've forgotten about the Stenner pump I was using I have a 15-gallon drum with about 8 gallons of 12.5% liquid chlorine, and the question is -- is there any reason I can't just turn off the SWCG and inject from the Stenner (at appropriate rates of course) in front of the SWCG? I'm guessing the SWCG doesn't care if higher chlorine water is flowing through it (like it would if I was injecting acid), but thought I'd check.

I did add another tee after the SWCG with plans to eventually inject acid after, but I'd rather not move the injection point right now.

J,

I doubt it matters to the SWCG..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Why do you need to inject chlorine if you have a SWCG?

Likely to get rid of the 8 gallons he has left to get rid of it.

Exactly. I decided the SWCG couldn't care and did use up 5-6 gallons earlier this summer, down to a level that feels less wasteful Saving the rest for this first winter as I see how long the water's too cold for the SWCG (the water temp gets down to the mid 40s for a short time) and how much I liquid I end up injecting; that'll make it easier to get a regular jug or two next year.

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense. My bad. Carry on.

(I use a pump for acid mounted behind the SWCG btw)
